MasterCard’s Donna Johnson: Diversity Legacy

MasterCard’s Chief Diversity Officer Donna Alligood Johnson loves to discuss diversity management during family get-togethers. Her father is the chief diversity officer at a major advertising agency; her sister, an attorney, sits on the diversity council at a prestigious law firm; and Johnson’s brother is actively involved in the diversity program at the architectural firm where he’s a partner. MasterCard is one of DiversityInc’s 25 Noteworthy Companies.

“It’s something we all feel really passionate about,” she says, “having worked in industries that tended to be less than integrated.”
